Czech Ško-Energo to source energy from Melč-Moravice wind farm

Mladá Boleslav-based Ško-Energo, a supplier of energy to Škoda Auto and heat to Mladá Boleslav, will source energy from the Melč-Moravice wind farm in the Opava region for 20 years starting next year. The supplies are expected to cover around ten percent of the volume the company has to purchase for the automaker. Energy from the wind farm is expected to help the automaker reduce the carbon footprint of car production. Company spokesperson Martina Vulcová announced the news in a press release today.

The first part of the Melč-Moravice wind farm was completed in 2018. The second part, completed in the second quarter of this year, is in trial operation and has added four turbines with a capacity of 8.8 MW. „The new turbines will give us a total capacity of 26.3 GWh per year, which represents around ten percent of the electricity we purchase for Škoda Auto,“ said Ško-Energo managing director Tomáš Kubín.
